Eight Steps to Impact and Influence

Consequently we’re losing the skills and abilities to communicating in the most influential way – face to face.
There’s a real danger to the maintenance of meaningful communications and personal and professional relationships. If you become overly dependent on email or text messages, you focus on the object, not the person. If you can’t keep the attention of your listener for them to understand your message, you won’t influence them to take action.

- Miscommunication and understanding.
- Wasted time.
- Loss in profits.
